Why 11 months, and not a year
This is not tradition or superstition. It is section 17(1)(d) of the Registration Act, 1908, which makes registration compulsory for a lease from year to year, for a term exceeding one year, or reserving a yearly rent. A term not exceeding one year falls instead under section 18, where registration is optional. That single line is the whole reason the eleven-month agreement became the standard in Gujarat.
If you want a two-year or three-year tenancy, you can have one — but it must go to the Sub-Registrar. No amount of notarisation substitutes for that. Section 49 of the Registration Act bars an unregistered compulsorily-registrable document from being received as evidence of the transaction it records.
It is not, and the difference only shows up when it matters — when you are trying to evict a tenant who has stopped paying, or prove possession in a dispute. We will tell you at the counter which side of the one-year line your agreement falls on and what that means for you. Notarised vs registered, explained →
Residential and commercial are not the same document
A shop, office, godown or showroom carries a different stamp treatment from a flat, and needs different clauses — permitted use, fit-out, GST liability on rent, lock-in, assignment to a successor business. Handing a commercial tenant a residential template is one of the more common and more expensive shortcuts we see.
Leave and licence, and when it is the better instrument
A leave and licence grants permission to occupy rather than a tenancy. No interest in the property passes to the occupier, which makes it materially easier to bring to an end. Landlords generally prefer it. Whether it is right for you depends on what you actually want the occupier to have — we will draft whichever fits, and explain the difference before you sign.
Landlord NOC — the one document nobody remembers until the last minute
A consent letter or no-objection certificate from the premises owner is what a GST officer, the Shops and Establishments facilitator, the gas agency or the electricity company will ask for when the address is not in your own name. It is a small document that stops a large application dead. We prepare it the same day.
